Grade Policies
At the end of each semester, grade reports are made available to students via the Student Portal and to parents, in accordance with the Student Privacy Policy, upon request. To assist the College in maintaining a high level of instructional quality, all students are required to submit course evaluations at the end of the semester for each course in which they are enrolled. Course evaluations are made available online via the Student Portal by the last day of classes each semester. Students are not able to view grades until course evaluations have been submitted. Although course evaluations may be submitted until a student no longer has access to the Student Portal, only evaluations submitted within four weeks of the last day of class will be included in the official summary reports.

Incomplete Grades
When extenuating circumstances beyond the control of the student prevent the completion of all the requirements for a course, a grade of "I" (Incomplete) may be issued in lieu of an "F" (Failure) upon the determination of the instructor. Students whose work is incomplete in a course during the fall semester are required to make up or complete their work by the following March 1st. Students who receive an "I" during the spring semester or summer term are required to make up or complete their work by the following November 1st. An earlier deadline may be set at the discretion of the instructor.
A student who completes work within the required time will receive a grade determined by the instructor. If the work is not completed by the specified deadline, the Incomplete will be changed to an "F".
Repeating Courses
A student may repeat a course previously failed or a course in which the minimum grade required for graduation or for the major was not earned. All grades remain on the transcript; however, the calculation of the grade point average will not include the previous course(s).
A student who does not pass a required course after two attempts or withdraws failing from required courses twice will be placed on academic probation until the requisite grade has been earned. A required course may be taken a maximum of three times.
Students may not repeat a course for grade improvement if the minimum grade required for graduation or for the major was earned.
